Thick & Zesty bar tape

R 300.00

Comfortable, 2.5mm thick, shock absorbent material
Primary material is a special formulation of EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate)resin. This material is the result of extensive testing to make sure it has the right balance of strength and stretchiness, that it absorbs vibration, is oxidation resistant, and is water resistant, but does not get slippery in the rain. More environmentally-friendly material than PVC. Its production does not result in heavy metal waste.
Chrome plastic bar plugs and finish tape included
Enough tape for one complete road drop-bar
For extreme grip choose the option with the Striated texture.
For extra shock absorption choose the option with Cork bits.

Portola Handlebar

R 1,100.00

This is similar to the Soma June Bug dirt drop bar, except this comes in a 26.0mm clamp diameter and is nicely polished.

– 112mm drop, 65mm reach
– 6061 aluminum

GULLWING HANDLEBAR

R 2,250.00

The Soma Gullwing was designed to be the most natural way to adapt a road bike to flat bars while still retaining your integrated road shift/brake levers.

The bar has a 30mm rise and 25ª backsweep. Harder to see in photos is the 7° drop at the grips which suits a semi-aggressive ride position and puts your wrists in a better angle to operate the levers. The curve for the backsweep also creates the ideal amount of brake lever travel for road levers.

The brake lever hoods can be used as a secondary place to rest your hands and to get more aero. Hood position feels similar to a 38cm road bar, which is fine, since this is not the primary hand position.

Grip section is 22.2mm OD, so you can either run MTB grips or bar tape.

Straight section near the clamp is 110mm wide, which gives some room for accessories or possibly aero bars.

Designed in Japan by Tokyo San Esu.

• Width: 620mm
• Center: 31.8mm OD
• Material: 6061-T6 Aluminum
• Rise: 30mm (with 7° down slope at grips)
• Backsweep: 25°
• Grip OD: 22.2mm
• Lever mounting area OD: 23.8mm
• Weight: 290g

*** Not feasible to use with Campagnolo Ergo levers, L-Twoo, or other models where one of the shifters is on the inboard side of the lever.

Fog Cutter

R 18,500.00

The Fog Cutter is an endurance road/road sport design. We designed it to fit fatter tires, but its geometry makes it handle like a road bike rather than CX or gravel bike.

Double Cross

R 17,500.00

Cyclo-cross bikes like the early Double Cross frame were the ride-it-all bikes of their time allowing cyclists to use them as road bikes, light touring, off-roading, as well as in CX events.
With its advent and current stage of development, the gravel bike has become the new king of "ride-it-all".

With just a few changes in BB height and head tube angle, we made the Double Cross more stable for gravel and touring, more fun on trails, and still a versatile and fast commuter.

Comes in 10 sizes: 42cm up to 66cm

– Tange Prestige heat-treated CrMo steel front triangle; butted CrMo rear end

– Disc mount is located on the chainstay which allows you to put almost any rear rack or fender on it without fear of interference. Rear disc mount is International standard and fits 160mm rotors only

– Optional color matched fork: Straight blade unicrown fork with three bosses to allow for utility cage or pannier rack.

– Clearance for 700x45c tires (40c w/fenders. Some front derailleurs may reduce this clearance) We recommend 650b/27.5" wheels for 42cm size to reduce toe overlap with the front wheel.

– Rear hub spacing is 135mm (10mm axle QR hubs)

– 1-1/8" size headtube (for external cup headsets)

– 10 sizes: 42cm to 62cm,... plus 66cm

Wolverine B-Type

R 21,500.00

The original inspiration for the Wolverine was “monster cross”, but it is seriously so much more. Its geometry is stable enough for off road touring, but sporty enough for all-around adventure and gravel riding. With its sliding dropouts, you can run single-speed, derailleur gearing or hub gearing (Rohloff, etc). With a split seatstay, it is compatible with the Gates Carbon Belt Drive.

2023 brings our version 4.1 B-Type that adopts flat mount brakes on both frame and fork. Version 4.0 which uses the IS brake mount will be available most of 2023. Flat mounts have become the primary standard for road brakes, but IS mounts are still more convenient for builds running flat bars, MTB drivetrains, or larger disc rotors

(Also check out the Wolverine v.4.1 Type-A, which adopts slightly more modern standards! See chart in photo gallery for their differences)

Wolverine A-Type

R 21,000.00

The original inspiration for the Wolverine was “monster cross”, but it is seriously so much more. Its geometry is stable enough for off road touring, but sporty enough for all-around adventure.
The primary differences between the version 3.0 Wolverine and the v. 4 Type-A and B is a new 46cm size, an extra set of water bottle bosses, and additional stack height on most sizes.The Type-A ALSO adopts more modern standards such as 142mm rear thru-axle and a 44mm headtube that will fit 1-1/8 straight steerer or tapered steerer with the proper headset type.
